Were Busta's Diebold Cty votes sprinkled around like Gore's in Volusia?

They must have stolen it primarily in heavily democratic Alameda!
He only got 32% of the vote in those Diebold machine counties that have a 53% democratic registration.

These are the registrations (in thousands) for the Diebold voter machine counties.

BTW: TruthIsAll, you had a quote way back when that I thought was a hoot -- it appears in Black Box Voting Chapter 7.

Do you have very simple election math for dummies that you might want to contribute for about a half-page activists sidebar -- to help citizens monitor elections and report results?

Maybe all the women he gropped voted for him. I lived in Healdsburg for 10 years and I am familiar with Mr Gosse, just like his hand is familiar with my ass.

The numbers for Alameda county do not add up at all. And why did it take so long for Alameda to report their numbers? This is a freaking ginzu knife folks it is slicing and dicing up the vote.

Wish I was stateside. Oakland is my birth place and I am sick to death of the East Bay getting fucked.

I posted in another thread my dissatisfaction for a similar look at possible tinkering...

... but have a look at Kunzman's numbers in Diebold counties and in non-Diebold counties. Maybe there's some logical reason for this (in a field of 135 candidiates, it may be possible that this is just random chance), but this really looks weird.

Hopefully more work is being done by others today in trying to analize this election. I have no doubt that Liebold pulled off some hanky-panky. Only through statistical analysis can we begin to understand how they do it. It may not have changed the ultimate outcome of this election, but we need to know.

:bounce:

in this area and support raising awareness....but how can this be proven...when will it get the light of day?

Where do we go from here?

This is not specifically BBV related, but I did something earlier and I thought it was strange also.

There were 8,363,276 votes cast.

There were only 7,978,767 votes yes and no cast regarding the recall of Davis.

384,609 people didn't vote on the recall.

Well, maybe they were stupid and they thought they could just pick a candidate, right?

There were 8,363,276 vote cast

There were 7,701,156 total votes for all of the candidates.

662,220 people did not select a candidate,or possibly, wrote one in.

Maybe they just went to vote on the propositions?

There were 8,363,276 votes cast

There were 7,425,701 votes, both yes and no, on prop 53

937,675 people didn't take a position on this issue.

There were 7,726,476 votes, both yes and no on prop 54

636,904 people didn't take a position on this issue.

The proposition issue was probably not what got people to the polls, so I don't think those may be important, but the fact that hundreds of thousands of people didn't vote on the recall, or select a candidate, makes me wonder what they were doing at the polls?

It also makes me wonder if they were even there? Remember that there were way fewer polling places in this special election and 15% of the entire state's population actually is reported to have gone to the polls. (5,000,000, subtracting the 3,200,000 reported to have voted absentee) it seems that the turnout most places was heavier than usual, but not as huge as you would expect in a 40% increase in participation and at fewer polling places. I don't know if it means anything, I just think it's strange.
